Shine Bright at the 2025 Jewelry and Mineral Marvels Exhibition
If you love crystals, can’t resist a good fossil find, or just want to vibe around shiny things and cool people—this one’s got your name all over it.
The 2025 Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Show is rolling into Bentonville, and it’s way more than just pretty stones on tables (though there’s plenty of that too). It’s part science fair, part treasure hunt, and part mini shopping spree.
